      Hello.

      Ive installed a VM PFSENSE but i need help getting it to work

      ive got a thinkcentre m93p with a Lenovo Intel 00AG522 00JY854 I350-T4 4XGBE BaseT Adapter Card.

      I do not know whats best for me here.

      I have a 6 TENDA mw6 wired backhaul.

      and i have two neighbors piggybacking my internet.

      i also have dual fiber ISP, one 100mb and a 1000mb.

      i would like to have failover between the two ISP:s and i want my neighbors internet to be separated from me, and also from each other.

      can i go from my intel network card straight to each of their routers?

      Like

      port 1 WIFI AP
      port 2 Home cabled network with switch
      port 3 Neighbor 1 router
      port 4 Neighbor 2 router

      I cant get to the web gui, i think ive installed the VM or PFsense or both wrong.

      Please help :)

        Yes, you can do that. You would need other ports for the two WAN though.

        Try adding an additional vitual NIC and connecting that to an internal VM. Then try assign that as LAN in pfSense and accessing from there.
        You probably have a mistake in the NIC pass through if you cannot access the webgui via whatever is LAN currently.
        Only the LAN interface has pass rules to allow access by default.
